Buy this not that. Helper springs vs airbags

I have had helper springs on my Silverado 2500 for 10 years and air bags for 5 years. One of them has to go.

Put a set of super spring helper springs on my truck 6 years ago. They still look and function like new and really helped with squating while under load. I guess everybody's experience is different.

[@LostSkills]

They might have a better way to mount the springs on different brands of trucks

[@diamondranch44]

I guess we all have different experiences. I had a big wig air bag system on my truck for 10 years and talk about a horrible bouncy ride I absolutely hated it and it would jack my truck 10 feet in the air with 50 psi. I took them off and put the exact super springs on thats on your truck. Been on now for 5 years and love them I never have to adjust air pressure or have a bouncy ride or jack my truck up. Mine have held up great. I have actually advised people to go totally opposite from your video haha I guess what works for one doesn't always work for someone else.

Maybe they made the mounting brackets better

Roadmaster Active S,uspension, with Timbrens, DONE. No maintenance, ever! Great ride and stock ride empty, and great with a very heavy load! Oh, easy install for both!

Can I just take the leaf springs out of a f 250/350/450 and put them in my f150

[@blah987t5]

I started with airbags. Hated the bounciness even with shock change. Added leafs. Sway bars also add to effective spring rate.

[@LostSkills]

I have the bags separated and haven't had that problem.

[@ramvan2284]

thx for the tips on this or that.... was thinking helper springs, now leaning towards the air bags

[@dboy3535]

I appreciate the struggle sir 👍🏾👍🏾

[@Kbeebs06]

Do you just use a Schrader valves or do you have it on board compressor?

[@LostSkills]

Schrader valves. It holds air for several months before it needs any added.

I wish I would have saw this a week ago. I bought Hellwig pro helper springs. Thank god kohl’s takes back amazon bought products too!

[@gera941]

Did they handle bad? Or did they just end up sagging? I was looking forward to buying some lol

[@MP-ef6mc]

Thanks for the review

[@kevinduprey9326]

nice video sir , would air bags alone lift a 4wd truck inch or so with no load? in other words , is it a alternative to a lift kit ? anything else needed for adding to stock ram 1500? was thinking of buying air shocks also. i just want better stance (higher)and nice comfortabke ride. i dont usually have a heavy load or tow.. thank you

[@LostSkills]

I can lift my Chevy at least an inch empty

[@bigearn8782]

Got rid of some weight, too. I just might go for Sumosprings rather than Supersprings.

[@donausmus4281]

Timbrens, add a leaf and Billsteins were the answer for my Tundra.

[@stevenh4970]

How is your suspension setup so far? I'm trying to decide which way I want to go. I'm putting a truck camper about 860 pound and myself, dog and stuff will get me close to payload max.

[@donausmus4281]

@stevenh4970 didn't give me the confidence I was looking for going to a 1500 lb camper. 860 will be fine though.

[@rodneyyoung385]

I'm just saying here those are one ton overloads you put on a motor home, this is probably your reason for having issues many of us use these on for big camp cab over campers and things like that I don't really believe a 1on overload was designed to be on the back of a motor home like that.

[@LostSkills]

That was the recommended size for my truck from the manufacturer

[@gidderman]

Chrome sockets on your impact i see, another anvil bites it...

[@FtCollinsBob]

Get the focus right plz…
